Where have we been?!?


Conked out at 7:00pm after a dinner of grapes!



Watching Barney with Daddy. Can you tell the right side of his head hurts?



Soooo tired from being up all night with croup.

We've been dealing with our poor, sick baby! Last Monday night, after Uncle David's b-day party, Graham spiked a random fever and then it was all down hill from there. Tuesday he became really hoarse and had a drippy nose and still a persistent fever. After he woke up from his afternoon nap hysterical, I knew something really wrong was up! Needless to say, Graham and I were up all night with episodes of 20 minutes of sleep here and there. The barking cough that comes with croup is so strange! He was having a bit of trouble breathing so that was scary to me. We called the late night dr and they gave us home remedies to do. I've watched enough Barney to last me a looonnnngggg time. We headed to the dr in the morning and confirmed that he had croup! Steriods and lots of motrin for the next few days and I thought we had made it through. All weekend Graham was EXTREMELY clingy. Those few of you that saw Graham know how true this was. He did not want me to put him down. Ever. Phew, and that boy is getting heavy! Well just when I thought I was needing to break out "Strong-willed Child" book he spiked another fever. Luckily he slept through the night but woke up so so sad this morning. Tears, oh my! We headed to see wonderful Dr. Cocharan again and Graham freaked when we got there. He was worried they were going to swab him for strep throat again, I think. Found out his right ear is very full with an ear infection so he got some Tylenol with codine and a prescription for amox. This afternoon has been great, so I'm hoping my sweet boy is coming back to me. So sad for my sick baby!!!!
